New former model feud alert?

Rebecca Romijn recently stirred some controversy when she said she hates that "social media stars are now the supermodels in fashion," seemingly referring to daughter Gigi Hadid and Kendall Jenner.

The 43-year-old model-turned-actress then clarified her comments, tweeting, @kendalljenner @gigihadid don't believe the #clickbait. Never talked smack about you. Both amazing & beautiful."

However, it appears Gigi's mom Yolanda Hadid, 52, a former model herself and current star of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, wasn't buying it.

"Kind, hard-working and they accomplished more at half your age in the fashion industry @KendallJenner @GiGiHadid," she wrote Friday in response to Romijn's latest post.

"Woohoo! Twitter beef cherry popped! ❤️ you @YolandaHFoster @Andy," Romijn replied

Romijn was asked by Entertainment Tonight about her "thoughts on the new generation of models such as Kendall Jenner and Gigi Hadid, who are more famous for their social media presence than their runway experience."

"No one has proven yet that numbers of followers translates to revenue," she was quoted as saying. "So it is frustrating. I know a lot of people—legitimate fashion people—can't stand it. Hate it that these, you know, social media stars are now the supermodels in fashion. They are not true supermodels."

"And the thing is, I have always looked to Vogue magazine to lead the way, not be a follower," she added. "I rely on Vogue to set the standard, not follow what everybody else is doing. So I have been disappointed that fashion magazines have been supporting this trend of social media stars to set our style standards. But it will change; fashion always does."

Both Gigi, 21, and Kendall, 20, are popular on social media and have appeared in top fashion magazine Vogue. In March, the outlet ran a story titled, "How Kendall Jenner Stays Grounded With 68 Million Followers and Counting."

 

Gigi and Kendall have not responded to Romijn's comments.
